DAMON ALBARN is teaming up with former Rolling StoneBill Wyman in an Oxford University debate about whether or not pop music is the greatest of all art forms.

In the debate, which takes place at the Oxford Union on November 4, Albarn will be arguing that pop music is more important than painting, literature or the theatre. TV presenter Mariella Frostrup and veteran club DJ Dave Haslam will put the other side of the argument.
